Screening records in Fairbanks

Alaska · Fairbanks Neighborhood Housing Services sources

Four featured rental groups and one additional dated lead

FNHS features Raven, Gillam, Chinook and Birch. Its 2025 welcome letter also describes Advanced Townhomes, which appears as a preference on the current pre-application. None of the reviewed property pages gives a numbered residential address, rent quote or verified opening. The 1427 Gillam Way address belongs to the FNHS office; it is not a confirmed address for Gillam apartments.

FNHS says its one-bedroom waitlist is closed. The online form offers two- and three-bedroom preferences, but check the current status directly. Its 2025 welcome letter says Birch House has five units, while the featured page calls it a six-plex; the discrepancy is not resolved. The application asks about felony charges and FNHS says it conducts background pre-screening; neither statement establishes conviction-specific approval. AHFC is a separate provider.

Fairbanks Neighborhood Housing Services (FNHS) features four named rental groups—Raven, Gillam, Chinook and Birch. Its 2025 welcome letter also identifies Advanced Townhomes. The records below describe housing groups, not confirmed vacant apartments. None of the reviewed property pages provides a numbered residential address. FNHS has not published an approval rule for a particular criminal record.

Local housing information for Fairbanks

Local rental overview

Raven consists of three eight-plex buildings with two- and three-bedroom homes; Gillam and Chinook are each described as four-plexes with one one-bedroom and three two-bedroom homes. FNHS calls Birch a six-plex on its current property page, but a 2025 welcome letter calls Birch House five units. FNHS also describes several three-bedroom Advanced Townhomes in that older letter; the current pre-application still includes them as a preference. FNHS also mentions market-based rentals in the letter but gives no named or addressed property, so those are a program resource rather than invented apartment records. Rents are set by unit, not adjusted to an individual household’s income; income eligibility nevertheless applies to certain properties. No reviewed source confirms a vacancy or exact residential address. 1427 Gillam Way is the office address, not a verified rental location.

Criminal screening overview

The current FNHS housing waitlist pre-application asks whether anyone in the household has been charged with a felony and whether anyone has been evicted. Its 2025 welcome letter says the organization conducts rental-history and background pre-screening and mails reasons if screening prevents a waitlist placement. The published materials do not say that a particular conviction is automatically accepted or rejected. Ask FNHS for current written screening criteria before applying.

Application tips

As reviewed September 28, 2026, FNHS explicitly says its one-bedroom waitlist is closed and not taking new applications. Its online pre-application presents two- and three-bedroom preferences for First available, Birch, Chinook, Raven/South Haven, Advanced Townhomes and Market-Based Only; Gillam is not listed as a separate preference. The form does not establish current vacancies or independent property-level openings. The 2025 welcome letter says applicants may be placed on waitlists by bedroom size and preference; keep contact details current and ask FNHS about timing and documentation. The FNHS office at 1427 Gillam Way is an administrative location, not a confirmed address for the Gillam rental group. FNHS property questions: 907-451-7230 or properties@fnhs.org.
